I had a wee bit of experience with AC from doing my vehicles plus a few tools. Installing a MS is not rocket science but does require the right tools and just a smidge of common sense. The videos available are much better now than they were a few years ago. One tool far too many skip is a...

From watching internet it seems that the hotter with high humidity the more mold you get. I have to thoroughly clean my 3 at least once a year, a real pain! To get them thoroughly clean the blower wheel must be removed. I am experimenting now with a low pressure power sprayer to clean without...

I squeezed in my house to avoid cutting down a tree, the tree died after a couple years. Speaking of years after a few years a 200' wide shop would be too small LOL.

So far all quotes are for windcode doors, The salesmen and brochures are not real clear about gage. Tear out and install are running $600-$1200. It does appear they are adding reinforcement to regular doors.

Yes I want hurricane door even though my 37 year old cheap builder grade door has survived numerous hurricanes including a direct hit from the latest Ian, I was within inches of being flooded. Oddly in permit crazed Florida my small corner of it does not require a permit for garage door...

Thanks for the input. I did stop at HD and talk to a lady there. There is one person in windows and doors that seems to know what he is doing. I am in south west Florida, there is tons of construction here even more so so now after the hurricane went through. So finding a good installer...

Cloplay and other's brochures seem to want to show fancy pictures and not give a lot of detail!

Thanks for the response greatly appreciated. I am old school and use to think the same models would be the same, now I question everything and am wondering if dealers can order the same model number in different gage? I will try Cloplay next week but doubt they will rat out their dealers.

I do not want to install myself. I am making it very clear that if the installers show up without the right tools or do not appear to know what they are doing they will be sent home! I am fed up with the BS.

Have 2 bids on Cloplay 16X7 insulated garage door model 4305W6. One bid states 24 gage the other 27 gage. Cloplay website is no help. Can they order the same model door in different gage?

I am not an AC pro! I would prefer to err on the low side. Bigger equipment costs more, costs more to operate and does not dehumidify well. I know nothing about Mitsubishi but I would guess if you go poke around their website you will find an 18K may go as low as 10K and may go as high as...

Almost every house I have been in here in Florida the AC is oversized as far too many of the AC companys are bozo's. When the professional guesstimaters guess, they invariably oversize for fear of not being big enough. There is no more guessing on AC there is a manual J. Shocking how many AC...

Thanks for the response. I am getting quotes from independent shops none of them are cooperating for ordering a self installed door and fudging on the gauge. The highest quote I have is for a 27 gage Cloplay # 4305W6 insulated wood grain. I have a quote on the same model # from another...

Muddling my through this shopping experience. Stopped at Home Depot and asked about faux wood finish insulated 16X7 door and was given a quote $4656 installed, $3495 no install. Gage and such are not in the Spinglish speaking ladies vocabulary. Stopped at Lowes and asked for a quote...

Several years ago I started using non ethanol gas, combined with running dry an draining carb, non ethanol is plentiful in Florida and all carb problems went away. I use non ethanol in the mighty little Honda except when I travel I use whatever is available, but the last tank is always non...

The new Honda EU3200i has EFI, mine is the Honda EU2200i which still has a carburetor. Honda puts out superb products but $2600 for a machine without electric start is not for me. The Honda guru at Pinellis power designed an electric start for the EU2000i, sold a few and sold the plans to...

I can't believe how the internet messes things up, now how did CO detector morph into 02 sensor??

Honda suitcase generators have no competition! There are cheaper clones which have their place, but nothing comes close to the Hondas. So here is my first experiment to stop the unit with a switch, I do not know how a long wire run will affect the gremlins so used a 16 foot wire which is...

This seems to fit the bill but does not show a DC rating, which I am assuming the internal wiring of the generator is. I can move it around the box a bit to adjust the shutdown temp> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L969R5V/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Shopping for new garage door and found something interesting. 16X7 insulated and in hurricane area so needs to be good for 160 mph winds, do not need a door opener. Got 2 prices on Cloplay $4200 and $4700. The way I read the papers they are 24 ga. Got a price on a Hass and they quoted a...
